Signal-based Bayesian Seismic MonitoringPerception can often be framed as the inverse of a better-understood forward process. For example, computer vision can be viewed as the inverse of computer graphics: a rendering engine computes a map from scene descriptions to image pixels, and vision systems attempt to invert this map. Bayesian inference provides a ...

Superconductivity is perhaps the most spectacular macroscopic quantum phenomenon. A "persistent current" in a ring of superconducting wire will continue to flow forever – a laboratory realization of perpetual motion. A voltage across a junction between two superconductors produces an oscillating current with a frequency that is determined exactly by the voltage and the ...
